"GEORGE, Barnstable, eldest s. of George the sec. of the same, by w. Elizabeth had Thankful, bapt. 16 Sept. 1683,[1] and I find no more of him."
- Thankful is included in the family of the son George and his wife Elizabeth rather than this family by many sources (e.g., Savage cited on this page (the oldest source), Banks cited on this page (next oldest), Source:Davis, Walter Goodwin. Ancestry of Lieut. Amos Towne, 1737-1793, of Arundel (Kennebunkport), Maine, and recently, Source:Williams, Barbara Lewis. 400 Years with a New England Lewes - Lewis Family, plus others) but the division of the son's estate only names three children: George, Samuel and Hannah. It was dated 25 Feb 1683, which presumably was 1683/84, and seemingly should have mentioned this child if she belonged to that family. Given that the baptism record says George & Mary, and not George & Elizabeth, it is unclear why these sources think otherwise, None provides any evidence nor has a discussion of this issue. More detail to be found on Talk page.
